Greek culture has so many interesting traditions surrounding good luck, and I've always enjoyed learning about the different customs that families follow. Some are connected to religious holidays, while others are superstitions that have been passed down through generations.
In my family, the evil eye is probably the most familiar tradition. I've also heard about smashing a pomegranate on New Year's Day for prosperity, hanging an onion near the front door, and making sure the right person enters the house first in the new year.
I find it interesting how some families take these customs seriously, while others follow them simply because they're part of their heritage. Either way, they're a fun connection to Greek culture and family history.
What Greek good luck traditions does your family follow? Are there any unusual customs that were passed down from your grandparents or that are specific to your family?
